Newcastle warlords has a growing community due to one man’s persistence. A few of us are older players and played Flames way way back. He got us back interested by having multiple Forces and running a demo game.
Anyway we are back into playing though still learning and we have 8 players at the club taking part in a League over the next few weeks.
A good mix of axis and Allies forces. Planning a DDay game for June, and so the Russian player(s) don’t miss out we will have a Bagration game as well after all that happened in June as well.
It can work to grow a community, yes the 40K players are unlikely to come over to historical gaming but in a club there is likely to be players who just need a nudge.
Good luck with the Vids.
Its great to hear you have a thriving community. Any growth is good growth.
One point you didn’t cover in your vid was the value of starting a WhatsApp group, keeps players in touch so they don’t feel isolated. Opening it up to potential players as well is a good hook.
Absolutely, social media is crucial for keeping in touch!
A lot of FOW playing groups either shrunk or disbanded post 2017 , some came back others didn't . Some groups switched to other WW2 games , or went to a different era to game in . On the bright side though FOW figures and models can be used in other WW2 games , so BF will still gets some sales that way .
That's true. Many have gone elsewhere. Plenty of different options to play. Find a set that suits.
Good insights.
Thank you. How are the preparations for Operation Saltire going?
Going good. We are getting a good mix of local and travelling players signing up. This is what we are really aiming for, mixing the local with the wider FOW community and establishing an annual focus for the Scottish players.@@OverlordGamesStore
Out of interest, will there be any battle reports coming out of it? Its great to have events where the wider community has the option of mixing it up.
There will be coverage, though not any reports from the competitive matches. Hopefully from some of the more sociable games. We should be live on the days too to let folks see how things are going as well as the awards. @@OverlordGamesStore
Fantastic. I'll keep an eye out for the coverage.
